Continuing an ambitious long-term plan, which includes
expansion into part of the new £40M Bayes Centre, the School of
Mathematics is making a number of permanent appointments in the
Mathematical Sciences.

We are recruiting candidates with a track record of high quality

for Statistics. They will interact with colleagues in the Bayes Centre,
a new interdisciplinary Data Science Institute within the University,
as well as the Maxwell Institute, a longstanding research partnership
between the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University. They
will also have opportunities to be actively involved with the Alan
Turing Institute, a UK wide initiative in Data Science.

All applications must be submitted online
and include a full CV, a research statement and a teaching statement.
We also require details of four referees, three to comment on your
research and one on your teaching.

Salary Scale: £39,992 - £47,722 per annum. Very strong and
